···1111Fixes since v1.5.6.1
1212--------------------
13131414-* Optimization for a large import via "git-svn" introduced in v1.5.6 had a
1515- serious memory and temporary file leak, which made it unusable for
1616- moderately large import.
1414+* "git clone" from a remote that is named with url.insteadOf setting in
1515+ $HOME/.gitconfig did not work well.
17161818-* "git-svn" mangled remote nickname used in the configuration file
1919- unnecessarily.
1717+* "git describe --long --tags" segfaulted when the described revision was
1818+ tagged with a lightweight tag.
20192120* "git diff --check" did not report the result via its exit status
2221 reliably.
23222323+* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
2424+ it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
2525+ branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
2626+ pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
2727+ of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
2828+2929+* "git reset file" should mean the same thing as "git reset HEAD file",
3030+ but we required disambiguating -- even when "file" is not ambiguous.
3131+2432* "git show" segfaulted when an annotated tag that points at another
2533 annotated tag was given to it.
